We are building a gifting brand and have already created the base character illustrations (vector line art).
We are now looking for a digital watercolor illustrator to paint over our existing artwork and bring it to a soft, warm, storybook-style finish.
This is NOT a character design job.
The characters are already designed.
Your role will be to:
• Add watercolor textures
• Add soft shading and grain
• Create warm glow and depth
• Match a gentle children’s book aesthetic
• Prepare artwork suitable for print (t-shirts, mugs, gifts)
Style reference: soft watercolor children’s illustration.
We will provide:
• Layered PSD/AI files
• Style references
• Ongoing work if the first design goes well
Deliverables for first project
1 illustration:
• Watercolor painted version of supplied artwork
• High-resolution PSD with layers
• Transparent PNG for printing
Potential for ongoing work on a full collection.
Ideal candidate
Experience in:
• Children’s book illustration
• Digital watercolor painting
• Procreate / Photoshop painting
• Print-ready artwork
Please include a portfolio showing watercolor or storybook illustration style.
